Case report details ischemic stroke in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1, indicating multiple risk factors involved.
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a common, heterogeneous neurocutaneous disorder characterized by a wide range of manifestations, from skin abnormalities to vascular complications. The incidence of cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) in NF1 can result from various pathologies, including ischemic stroke, aneurysm, and Moyamoya syndrome. Here, we present a case of medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF) stroke in a patient with NF1 and discuss the multifactorial risk factors contributing to stroke in this condition.
